The effects of the chip crisis in the automobile industry continue to increase day by day. Due to some problems in chip production and supply chain, many automobile manufacturers turn down some features of their vehicles and deliver them to users. It turned out that the pioneer of the sector, Tesla, also joined these companies.
Tesla delivers some of its vehicles without USB ports!
According to the news of Electrek, Tesla delivers some Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to users without USB ports. In Tesla model vehicles, USB ports are generally located in the center console and rear seating area. Some new Tesla customers state that there are no USB ports in the center console or rear seating area when picking up their vehicles.
Some of these customers claim that the company informed them before purchasing the vehicle, while others claim that the brand did not inform them and they were informed when they got home. Engineers and some experts at Tesla say that this problem arose due to the chip crisis.
There are also some claims about this subject. Some customers are saying that Tesla will be installing the missing USB ports in December. No official statement has been made yet from Tesla regarding this issue. This is not the first event that has happened in the world. BMW also announced that it will deliver some of its vehicles without touch screen feature due to the chip crisis.
No information about when the chip crisis will end. If the situation continues like this, other companies may launch their vehicles with missing equipment in the future. So, what are your thoughts? Would you buy an under-equipped vehicle? Don’t forget to leave your comments and opinions below!
